Bozo Podunavac's guitars always inspire strong reactions. Whether simple or ornate, once you've played one it is hard to forget. Back in the early 70's Bozo built a few guitars for Leo Kottke -- this one predates those! In fact, our research has uncovered that this very guitar is the 2nd 12-string ever built by Bozo! This one is crafted from superb old Brazilian Rosewood and topped with Sitka Spruce. There is a custom rosette and headstock inlay that showcase Bozo's wonderful hand inlay work. Historically it is a very interesting piece, but what makes this guitar so special is it's character. With its bold, authoritative sound, and the appearance of a road warrior, this guitar gives off the vibe that it has seen it all, and taken it in stride. Collectors and payers alike will love this guitar.
Bozo Podunavac is a legend in the guitar world. One of the early independent luthiers who made masterpieces for players such as Leo Kotke, Reverend Gary Davis and many more. He made his name with tone, the old fashioned way and this 12 string has it in spades. This is also a very collectible piece as it is the 2nd Bozo 12 ever made and there are not many around. We've done a full setup so it plays beautifully and should for another bunch of years. 
This guitar is an icon of the '60's Folk scene with plenty of volume and tone. It's a piece of history, for sure. - Accessories
